Re: California Voting Rights Act
Dear Mr. Powers:

I am writing you today on behalf of a large segment of the population and on behalf of Chaise Rasheed and other members of a protected class and a registered voter in the City of Thousand Oaks. This letter identifies that the City of Thousand Oaks' method of conducting elections violates the California Voting Rights Act.

Pursuant to state law, the City has 45 days from receipt of this letter to adopt a resolution outlining its intention to transition from at-large to district elections, detailing specific steps it will take to facilitate this transition, and estimating the timeframe for this transition. If they were not to adopt a resolution to this effect, then a legal action would be commenced in Superior Court to require the City to institute district elections pursuant to the California Voting Rights Act.

District elections have swept California. As far as this office is aware, no government agency in California has successfully defended a complaint alleging violation of the California Voting Rights Act. For this reason, we recommend collaborative action which would limit costs to the City and enable more participation by the City in the transition to district elections than would be the case through a court action.

Reimbursement costs are capped at around $35,000, provided City adopts a resolution of intent to implement district elections. The terms of existing council members would not be affected by the move to district elections. District elections elsewhere have been tied to greater representativeness on, and more candidates seeking election to, boards and councils, and to greater participation and interest by the community in local government agencies and elections. There are many benefits that public agencies receive from district elections, including higher voter turn-out and more community participation. Most government agencies in Ventura County, as around the state, have successfully enacted district elections.

Item No.10B

TO:Andrew P. Powers, City Manager
FROM:Jennifer Patterson, Library Director
DATE:April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Library Technology Infrastructure
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Approve purchase of Alletra Storage Area Network from Evocative (Los Angeles, CA) in the amount of $49,644.64.

2. Approve Budget Appropriation transfer and expenditure in the amount of $49,645 from A/C #110-7330-673-3300 (Equipment under $5000) to A/C #110- 7330-673-8400 (Equipment over $5,000).

3. Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time required to prepare the report is included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Library Fund Budget. In addition, $49,645 is included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 Library Fund Budget and $40,889 is offset by Fixed Asset Replacement.

BACKGROUND:

In order to effectively and efficiently maintain and advance the Thousand Oaks Library’s technology infrastructure, additions and/or updates to the storage and server infrastructure are periodically needed.

In 2017, Library staff purchased the Reduxio Storage Area Network (SAN) which is a product used for data storage. The Reduxio has a storage capacity of 20 terabytes and the typical life expectancy of a SAN unit is 5 years. This product has now reached the end of its useful life and for the past three years the City has incurred third-party support charges after the manufacturer ceased building and supporting this equipment.

Item No.10C

Library Technology Infrastructure
April 4, 2023

Page 2 ends

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The current aging technology infrastructure at the Thousand Oaks Library, which supports both public and staff desktop services, includes the Reduxio. The Reduxio unit has depended on a third-party support vendor costing $9,000 per year. Additionally, the support vendor communicated to Library staff that spare parts are becoming scarce and they cannot guarantee support past 2023.

After reviewing SAN products from Dell, HPE, and IBM, City I.T. staff selected the Alletra (formerly Nimble) SAN technology from HPE due to its performance, cost, familiarity to I.T. support staff, and long, reliable history (founded in 2008). The Alletra replacement unit will include three years of support, resulting in a $27,000 net savings over the term due to the elimination of the yearly Reduxio support contract ($9,000 per year). After three years, support will become a yearly expense consistent with the other technology infrastructure equipment in the City. Consequently, staff determined that replacing the existing Reduxio unit with the Alletra unit would benefit and improve the technology infrastructure, save on yearly recurring costs, and facilitate the capacity for future growth and advances in technology.

Upon selection of the Alletra technology, HPE assisted City I.T. staff in creating a Bill of Materials and Configuration that was supplied to five hardware vendors with a request for quotes. Of these five vendors, four provided the quotes below.

Company Cost

1. Evocative (Los Angeles, CA) $49,644.64

2. ISSQuared (Westlake Village, CA) $50,629.32

3. Compuwave (Ventura, CA) $112,138.67

4. CDW Government (Chicago, IL) $118,113.18
The lowest quote is $49,644.64. Staff recommends selecting Evocative (Los Angeles, CA).

COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE:

Meets the following City Council goals:

C. Operate City government in a fiscally and managerially responsible and prudent manner to ensure that the City of Thousand Oaks remains one of California's most desirable places to live, work, visit, recreate, and raise a family.

LIB:950-10\H:\Common\Administration\StaffReports\04042023LibraryTechnologyInfrastructure.doc Item No.10C

TO:Andrew P. Powers, City Manager
FROM:Clifford G. Finley, Public Works Director
DATE:April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Unit W Wastewater Interceptor Capital Improvement Project (CI 5445)
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Reject all bids received on March 1, 2023.

2. Authorize staff to re-advertise the project for new construction bids following a value engineering evaluation.

3. CEQA: A Mitigated Negative Declaration was approved for this project by City Council on February 22, 2022.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time and costs required to re- advertise for bids, along with $1,900,000 project budget are included in the Adopted FY 2021-23 Wastewater Fund Capital Budget (CI 5445). Estimated total project cost is $3,500,000. Additional appropriation will be included in the upcoming biennial capital budget process.

BACKGROUND:

The Hill Canyon Treatment Plant (HCTP) is located at 9600 Santa Rosa Road and provides tertiary level wastewater treatment for the community. As part of the overall wastewater collection and treatment system, large diameter wastewater interceptor pipelines were installed to transport the wastewater from the community and deliver it to the HCTP.

The Unit W Wastewater Interceptor is a gravity collection pipeline that originates near the Oaks Mall and transports a large volume of wastewater along the Arroyo Conejo Creek to the HCTP (Attachment #1). The pipeline was installed in the 1960s and improvements have been made over the decades. In the lower portion of the interceptor, the original 1960s Unit W pipeline consisted of a 30-inch Item No.10D

Unit W Wastewater Interceptor Capital Improvement Project CI 5445 April 4, 2023

Page 2 ends

5 6
3 diameter pressurized pipeline with two major wastewater access structures (Structure W-1 and Structure W/F). The structures enable the wastewater interceptors to be accessed by staff.

Since the 1960s, the existing pipeline has been lined in sections using a cured in place pipe (CIPP) product. In 1978, a second 39-inch diameter pipeline was installed from the City’s W/F wastewater collection access structure to the south headworks at the HCTP. In addition, in 1998, a parallel 42-inch diameter pipeline and several pressurized reinforced concrete structures were installed to control and manage the wastewater flow, and to provide redundancy to this critical section of the Unit W interceptor. As facilities age, it is important to rehabilitate or replace pipelines, valves, and structures to maintain long-term reliability of this key wastewater infrastructure.

The necessary rehabilitation work for the Unit W Project includes installation of a temporary wastewater bypass pipeline to HCTP headworks so closed-circuit television (CCTV) work can be performed on the inside of the wastewater pipelines, as well as installation of new access holes. This CCTV work will be completed on one pipeline at a time. In addition, three of the existing isolation valves are non-functional due to mechanical failure. Replacement of these valves can be challenging from a permitting and feasibility standpoint, so they are included as part of this project. The valves are buried in the canyon and therefore must be excavated to be replaced. The phase 1 condition assessment of the project is the first phase of a potential two-phase project. The work performed as part of this phase will determine the need for additional rehabilitation or repairs on this section of Unit W. Once this project is completed and the internal pipeline CCTV information work is obtained, staff will determine the need for a second phase of this project, which will be included as a future capital project in the FY 2023-25 Capital Budget.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Two bids were received on March 1, 2023, as follows:

Contractor’s Name, City Bid Amount

1. J.R. Filanc Construction Company, Inc. (Oxnard, CA) $ 3,446,563

2. Blois Construction, Inc. (Oxnard, CA) $ 3,732,341
The lowest bid from J.R. Filanc Construction Company, Inc. (Filanc) in the amount of $3,446,563, was approximately 50 percent higher than the engineer’s estimate of $2,200,000. This project is in an environmentally sensitive canyon with regulatory permits in place that have a specific construction sequence and environmental protection requirements. In addition, bypassing large quantities of Item No.10D

Unit W Wastewater Interceptor Capital Improvement Project CI 5445 April 4, 2023

Page 3 ends

5 6
3 wastewater may have led to the increased cost since the risk to the contractor is significant. As a result of the high bids, staff is recommending that all bids be rejected.

Before re-bidding the project, staff will be working with the City’s consultant to explore design and construction alternatives that may result in cost savings for the project. Once this design and construction value engineering evaluation has been completed, the project plans and specifications will be modified accordingly, and the project will be re-advertised for bidding. Staff will also continue to procure the three plug valves that are necessary for the project as a separate action anticipated by City Council later this spring. The valve manufacturing and procurement process is estimated to take 26-30 weeks, so ordering these valves in advance is critical to the success of the project meeting the schedule once the Unit W project is readvertised for construction bids.

The revised tentative schedule for the project is as follows:

Re-bidding Fall 2023
Award of construction contract Winter 2024
Start construction Spring 2024
Construction completion Fall 2024
As part of the design efforts on the project, the consultant prepared the Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. City Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project on February 22, 2022.

This project meets City Council’s Top Ten Priorities #9, “Public Works Infrastructure Investments.”
Community Outreach: This project will be limited to work at HCTP and in the canyon adjacent to HCTP where the Unit W pipelines are located and is not expected to impact any neighboring residences. The work will be at the south end of the plant and will have limited impact to plant operation. Construction-related impacts to hiking trail users will be minimal.

CIP PROJECT PRIORITY (as outlined in FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 CIP Program Budget)
Priority Two – Necessary, but not essential, and there could be consequences if deferred.

DATE:April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Information Technology Equipment Replacement
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Authorize expenditure for CompuWave and C D W Government, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $250,000 in FY 2022-23 for computer desktops, laptops, tablets, wireless access points, switches, and firewall replacements from A/C #001-3410-612-33-00 (Equipment Less than $5,000).

2. Approve budget appropriation transfer in the amount of $50,000 from A/C #001- 3410-612-84-00 (Equipment $5,000 or More) to A/C #001-3410-612-33-00 (Equipment Less than $5,000) for FY 2022-23 computer equipment purchases.

3. Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time required to prepare the report is included in the Adopted FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget. The requested computer related equipment purchases will be fully offset by a budget appropriation transfer from Equipment $5,000 or More.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s Information Technology (IT) division of the Finance Department is responsible for technology equipment replacement for City staff at various City locations. Depending on the type of equipment, the average lifecycle is four to five years. Laptops and tablets are typically four years, with desktops, wireless access points, switches, and firewalls typically five years. The City has approximately 550 desktops, laptops, and tablets. Additionally, the City has over 150 wireless access points, switches, and firewalls (e.g., infrastructure) with an average lifecycle of four to five years.

Item No.10E

Information Technology Equipment Replacement
April 4, 2023

Page 2 ends

Computer equipment replacement takes place annually. Most desktops and laptop equipment were purchased from CompuWave, as they provided the best pricing.

C D W Government, Inc. has been highly competitive in their infrastructure equipment pricing. Both companies are trusted vendors that the City has purchased from in the past.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The City has approximately 100 desktops, laptops, and tablets that are due for replacement in FY 2022-23. There are an additional 55 wireless access points, switches, and firewalls that are due for replacement based on end of useful life or nearing end of useful life maintenance and support. With the ever-increasing cybersecurity risks, timely replacement of computer infrastructure equipment is imperative in the City’s efforts to maintain its cybersecurity posture.

The IT division completed a request for quotes for desktops and switches/infrastructure. CompuWave provided the best pricing for desktops and C D W Government, Inc. provided the best pricing for switches/infrastructure.

CompuWave and C D W Government, Inc. are both well-established vendors and have been in business for several years.

COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE:

Meets the following City Council goal:

C. Operate City government in a fiscally and managerially responsible and prudent manner to ensure that the City of Thousand Oaks remains one of California's most desirable places to live, work, visit, recreate, and raise a family.

Item No.10F

TO:Andrew P. Powers, City Manager
FROM:Kelvin Parker, Community Development Director
DATE:April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: Municipal Code Amendment to Repeal Residential Resale Requirements (MCA-2023-70002)
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Find that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), Common Sense Exemption.

2. Read ordinance in title only, waive further reading, and if no objection, introduce ordinance to approve MCA-2023-70002 amending the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code (TOMC) by repealing Chapter 12 of Title 8, and hold the Chapter placement for future use.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

No Additional Funding Requested. Minimal staff time required to prepare this report is included in the Adopted FY 2022-2023 General Fund Budget.

Financial impact would include saving the cost of staff time currently spent processing report applications, with a corresponding reduction in application fee revenue.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Thousand Oaks Municipal Code requires residential sellers to provide the buyer with a report of residential building records for the property. The purpose of this requirement was to assure that buyers were aware of any existing violations or construction that may have been accomplished without permits and inspection.

As the City transitions to reliance on its new Land Management System, this information can be gathered on-line by the parties without burdening private parties with the cost of having staff generate the report for them.

2 On August 10, 1971, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 223-NS, adding Chapter 12 to Title 8 of the TOMC relating to Reports of Residential Building Records (Attachment #1). The Ordinance required a fee to be paid and an application to be submitted to initiate a review and report of pertinent City records and an inspection of the premises to determine the accuracy of said records. This requirement was to be met prior to the sale or exchange of a residential property.

On September 2, 1986, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 932-NS, replacing Chapter 12 of Title 8 of the TOMC, which revised procedures, providing for an option of an alternate report which would only include a records search (Attachment #2). The revised ordinance continued to require a report of records, but removed the mandatory inspection requirement, allowing for voluntary on-site inspection for an additional fee.

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 38780 et seq., the intent of Chapter 12 of Title 8 is to assure that the purchaser of a residential building within the City is given the opportunity to be furnished with a report of matters of City record pertaining to the authorized use, occupancy, and zoning classification of real property prior to its sale or exchange (§ 2, Ord. 932-NS, eff. September 2, 1986, as amended by § 1, Ord. 1289-NS, eff. August 21, 1997) (Attachment #3).

On November 14, 2022, the City launched its new enhanced and integrated virtual land management service system, TO/24. With this new self-service virtual system, the public may instantly access the information required in Chapter 12 of Title 8 via the portal, at no charge, no wait time, and in compliance with Government Code.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

When the Reports of Residential Building Records program came into existence in the City in 1971, the only way for a potential homebuyer to find complete building records on a residence was through City staff, with a fee to be paid by the resident to compensate for the staff time needed to review records. Now, with the introduction of the new virtual self-service system, TO/24, these records are available for anyone to retrieve 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, and at no cost to the resident.

Sec. 8-12.04 of the TOMC currently requires the report of the residential building records contain the following information insofar as it is available:
(1) The street address and assessor’s parcel number of the subject property; (2) The zone classification and authorized use as set forth in this Code; Item No.11A

MCA to Repeal Residential Resale Requirements (MCA-2023-70002) April 4, 2023

Page 3 ends

5 6
2 (3) The occupancy as indicated and established by permits of record; (4) Any variances, special use permits, exceptions, or other zoning requirements; (5) Any special restrictions in use or development which may apply to the subject property;
(6) The availability of water and sewer facilities from the City’s system and connection fee requirements; and
(7) Informational material explaining when permits from the City are needed.

Diagrams and explanations for proper installation of commonly occurring improperly installed work.

Each of these items is now accessible free of charge and with no wait time through the City website or by contacting staff who can retrieve the information quickly without the research time historically required. This saves residents valuable time and money by removing unneeded fees on home transactions in this challenging housing market.

The adopted Housing Element from January 2022 references the Residential Resale Housing Program within Goal 3: Maintain and improve the existing housing stock of the City by reducing housing deterioration. With the implementation of the new enhanced and integrated virtual self-service system, TO/24, the purpose of the program is satisfied without the allocation of staff resources.

Based on the above discussion, staff recommends that City Council introduce this ordinance to repeal the Residential Resale Requirements. If introduced, the ordinance would be brought back for adoption at a subsequent meeting (Attachment #4).

Community Outreach
Staff met with representatives from the Conejo Simi Moorpark Association of Realtors on December 20, 2022. As representatives of this entity, they expressed support of the repeal. Their reasoning for support is simplification of the real estate transaction process and cost savings for information that is readily available to the public.

0 BACKGROUND:

On January 28, 2020, a Residential Capacity Allocation (2019-70742-RCA) and initiation of a General Plan Amendment (2020-70026-LU) for the above project were authorized by City Council, which allocated 27 units thereby allowing the applicant to submit formal applications for the subject apartment complex expansion project.

On May 28, 2020, the applicant began submitting the subject applications, which are listed in the “Recommendation” section of this report.

The proposed project was presented at the Planning Commission hearing on February 27, 2023. During the hearing, several project items were discussed including the requested waiver of the standard dimensions for private outdoor open spaces as well as a request from a Commissioner to modify the affordable units mix to add one additional low or very-low unit. After dialogue with the applicant, the project was not materially amended and the Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

This discussion provides a broad overview of the project details. Focused and detailed discussion on project features is contained in the staff report to the Planning Commission of February 27, 2023 (Attachment #1). Included as attachments to the Planning Commission report are:
#1 – Vicinity Map
#2 – Location Map
#3 – Aerial Photo
#4 – Resolution
#5 – Project Plan Set
#6 – Tree Report
#7 – Negative Declaration
#8 – Development Agreement (DA)
#9 – DA Ordinance
Planned Development Permit Submittal
The project site is a vacant 1.57-acre parcel located immediately adjacent and to the north of the property located at 1300 Rancho Conejo Boulevard. Nearby development includes the 354-unit Arroyo Villa Apartment complex adjacent and to the north, industrial development to the south, single-family residences to the east, and an industrial center to the west.

0 The project involves construction of three (3) apartment buildings, comprising 27 units, reconfigured drive aisles as well as a surface parking area, to connect to the existing apartment complex. In fact, the project would be an extension of the existing Arroyo Villa apartment complex, and upon completion, managed as part of that development; as depicted in the “Project Plans” dated January 13, 2021 (Attachment #1 Planning Commission Packet of February 27, 2023 – Attachment #5). Figure 1 below illustrates the proposed site configuration.

Figure 1: Proposed Site Plan
The unit types include 11 one-bedroom units (about 866 S.F. each), 12 two- bedroom units (about 1,100 to 1,230 S.F. each), and four three-bedroom units (about 1,353 S.F. each). Of the 27 apartments, four units are proposed as moderate-income households, which is an income of up to 120 percent of the Ventura County median income category. Additionally, the project would share the amenities already established on the adjoining Arroyo Villa Apartments site to the north.

Review Process
Procedurally, the process has evolved as envisioned by City Council. That is, Measure E units were allocated for a conceptual land use. Extensive evaluation of the development aspects was then performed. Subsequently, a report was prepared for Planning Commission hearing and public testimony. Planning Item No.11B

0 Commission then made a recommendation to City Council, which is provided in the Resolution to Adopt Recommendation. Ultimately, a decision on the project is the responsibility of City Council.

Throughout the review process, the Applicant team has been responsive and has worked well with staff, resulting in the project before City Council. Overall, the project involves a thoughtful and well-designed site plan, and includes:

1. Cohesive Architectural Design: The project features three, two-story apartment buildings approximately 27 feet in height. The structures are treated with Mediterranean Revival style architecture including arches, multi-pane windows and tile roofs. Building 1 will be oriented towards Rancho Conejo Boulevard with entries, windows, and living area facing the public right of way. Providing entries facing sidewalks and roadways, as well as internal connections to these areas, which enhances the residential impression of the project and promotes walkability of the site ( Figure #2).

2. Recreation Areas: Within the interior outdoor landscaping, there are BBQ facilities and a picnic area. As mentioned, this project will be connected to the adjacent Arroyo Villa complex and will have access to the established amenities contained on that site (Figure #3).

Walkability
As stated, the primary Building 1 will have living area and entries facing the Rancho Conejo sidewalk and roadway, as well as internal connections to these areas. This orientation enhances the residential impression of the project and promotes walkability of the site. Employment centers are also within walking distance and bus stops are located nearby along Corporate Center Drive. The project area is also a functional extension of the existing Arroyo Villa Apartments and would include interior pedestrian connections throughout the site.

Compatibility with Surrounding Uses
The project is within an urbanized area, with transportation and utility infrastructure in place. Nearby transit services are available with a bus stop located just 315 feet from the site, on Corporate Center Drive. Surrounding uses include the existing Arroyo Villa Apartment complex to the north, single-family residences to the east, and industrial uses to the west (across the street) and to the south.

Access and Circulation
Vehicular Access: Ingress and egress to the site is provided as a two-way driveway access along Rancho Conejo Boulevard at two locations, as well as access off Lawrence Drive. These access points range in size from approximately 40 feet to 82 feet in width and meet the minimum standards of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code (TOMC) and Ventura County Fire Prevention District requirements.

Pedestrian Access: There are existing public sidewalks along Rancho Conejo Boulevard. A new sidewalk connection will be provided from the site so residents can walk onto and off the property at Rancho Conejo Boulevard.

Item No.11B

0 Parcel Merger
Staff requested that the applicant merge the existing developed apartment site with the subject property. A unified property would facilitate the on-site infrastructure and its maintenance, as well as provide unencumbered access to the existing amenities discussed above. Therefore, recordation of a parcel merger combining the subject property with the existing Arroyo Villa Apartments site would be required as a condition of approval compelling recordation prior to issuance of building permits as listed in the Resolution.

Parking
A total of 51 parking spaces are proposed, which meets the TOMC requirements.

Three (3) spaces are proposed to replace any spaces lost due to driveway reconfiguration and connection on the adjacent site, as shown in Table 1:

Residential parking is primarily provided by the 35 “tuck-under” private parking garages. The remaining required 14 parking spaces are provided as surface parking for the uncovered portion of residential units and guest parking. Parking for the expansion is fully contained on the site being proposed for development. In addition, there are three replacement spaces to be used in conjunction with the existing apartment units.

All parking space dimensions and driveway widths meet the TOMC minimum requirements. The project also provides disabled parking spaces that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), contained in Title 24 of the California Building Code and all applicable State laws.

Community Benefits
The project includes four (4) apartments (15 percent of 27 base units) for moderate-income households (income of 120 percent of Ventura County median Item No.11B

0 income; refer to Table 3). These apartments include two 1-bedroom units and two 2-bedroom units. These units would be dispersed throughout the complex in a yet- to-be-determined mix. The City has an unmet need of providing 532 units in the Moderate-income level during this 6th Regional Housing Needs Assessment cycle, ending in 2029, as shown in Table 2 below.

An Affordable Housing Agreement that provides for the on-going affordability of the restricted units for 55 years is required. Approval of this project is also subject to execution of an Affordable Housing Covenant between the applicant and the City. The Affordable Housing Agreement and Covenant are subject to review and approval by the Community Development Department and City Attorney’s Office prior to issuance of a grading permit.

It should be noted that although the applicant is providing affordable housing, the project does not seek any waiver of a City’s development standard, as is their right per State Density Bonus Law.

0 Traffic
Traffic from the project is estimated to result in an average of 15 trips during the PM peak hours. Standard City practice for requiring a Traffic Impact Study and City Policy for requiring a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis is when a project is expected to generate an additional 100 PM trips over the current land use. Since the proposed project net increase in PM Peak hour trips is 15, a traffic impact study and VMT analysis are not required.

Landscape Plan
The proposed landscape plan will provide enhanced planting in and around the site to provide softscape within the hardscape areas and provide shade coverage for the enjoyment of visitors and residents. A conceptual landscape plan has been submitted that demonstrates substantial landscaping on the site (Figure 4). If the project is approved, a formal landscape plan will be required, and technical evaluation of that plan will be provided through a Landscape Plan Check process to ensure compliance with the City’s landscape and irrigation standards.

Figure 4: Conceptual Landscape Plan
The total parking and vehicle circulation area is about 18,911 S.F. which requires a minimum parking area landscape coverage of 10 percent or about 1,900 S.F. [plus an additional 25 S.F. for each compact space (Sec. 9-4.2404 required per TOMC)]. The plan provides 2,423 S.F. of parking area landscaping or approximately 13 percent of the paved areas. The parking area landscape coverage is only a small portion of the overall site landscaping provided, which is approximately 20,066 square feet.

0 Oak Tree
Although there are no protected trees located on site, there is a protected (1) California Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) tree (numbered 1 in the report) that resides on the adjacent property at the northwest corner of the subject site. Since there may be potential impacts from construction, encroachment protocols will be followed as addressed below.

Oak Tree Encroachment: Development of the project, as proposed, may encroach on the root zone of the one (1) California Live Oak tree, which is located at the perimeter corner of the site. An evaluation of the health and appearance of the tree is included in the Oak and Landmark Tree Report. (Attachment #1 Planning Commission Packet of February 27, 2023 - Attachment #6 Tree Report). This tree has a diameter of 14 inches and is in good health. The applicant’s arborist report, which is supported by City’s consulting arborist, recommends careful “pre-cutting” of roots closest to the proposed project with hand tools to prepare it for any encroachment that may occur.

Landmark Trees
Similar to the Oak tree discussion above, there are two (2) California sycamore (Platanus racemosa) trees (numbered 13 and 14 in the arborist’s report) located off-site, just beyond the property line to the northeast. These are relatively close to the proposed development and have canopies that overhang on to the subject site. Since there may be potential impacts from construction, potential encroachment has been addressed as provided below.

Landmark Trees Encroachment: Proposed improvements, may likely encroach on the root zone of the two (2) California sycamore trees, which are located at the northeast perimeter of the site. The trees are approximately 12-14 inches in diameter and in good health. The Oak and Landmark Tree Report finds there would be little impact to the trees if the canopies are trimmed back and exploratory hand tool digging around the roots is done to identify any critical roots before construction begins. Both measures included in the arborist report for the Landmark and Oak trees are included in the recommended conditions of approval.

Community Outreach
Staff received one email opposing the project based on an aversion to additional “construction or traffic in our area.” The Negative Declaration addresses the associated construction activities and has determined it would be “less than significant.” In addition, there are conditions of approval that limit construction activity, associated noise, hours of operation, and trips made by construction Item No.11B

0 equipment. Also, it should be noted that the project does not create a new “curb- cut” or access to the public right-of-way, but rather utilizes established entry and exit points to the overall complex. Further, the future vehicle trips generated by this proposal are well below the thresholds requiring a traffic analysis.

Notification for this hearing, and the Planning Commission hearing, was conducted in compliance with the TOMC. See Attachment #2 for Public Correspondence.

Environmental Review (CEQA)
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental impacts for this project was performed. This evaluation determined that the project did not have a significant effect on the environment, therefore a Negative Declaration was prepared for the project (Documents Under Separate Cover - Arroyo Villa Apartments Expansion Project Negative Declaration 2021-70893-ND:
https://www.toaks.org/departments/community-development/planning/environmental- impact).

A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration was posted with a 30-day public review period for the proposed Negative Declaration between November 18, 2022 and December 19, 2022. One comment was received from Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) requesting clarification and correction of Air Quality measures. This request was adequately addressed in the revised draft Negative Declaration; therefore, staff is recommending adoption of the Negative Declaration (ND 2021-70893) for the project.

Development Agreement
A Development Agreement (DAGR) is required for approval of projects that receive allocation of Measure E units (Attachment #3). This agreement is a contract between the property owner and City to ensure specific deliverables and site expectations are in place to ensure public benefit, such as the inclusion of affordable units, site improvements, and certain number of residential units. TOMC Section 9-11.01 et seq. outlines the process for implementation of a development agreement. The applicant’s representatives and staff have worked together to prepare an agreement in compliance with the TOMC that identifies the parties’ rights, responsibilities and both public and private benefits expected from entering into such an agreement. The DAGR is adopted through an ordinance (Attachment #4).

The DAGR lists various benefits received by the parties in the Agreement. If the project is approved and constructed as planned, the City will have an additional 23 market-rate and four affordable units in its residential stock. The applicant receives Item No.11B

BACKGROUND
Project Site
The
project site is a vacant 1.57-acre parcel located directly east of the “T” intersection of Rancho Conejo B oulevard and Corporate Center Dr ive, immediately adjacent and north of the site located at 1300 Ranc ho Conejo Boulevard. Nearby development includes the 354-unit Arroyo Vill a Apartment complex adjacent and to the north, low-intensity industrial dev elopment to the south, and Single-Family residences to the east, and an industrial center to the west (Attachments #1-3). The pr oject would be an extension of the existing Arroyo Villa apartment complex, and upon completion, managed as part of that development.

The site was previously graded but remains undeveloped with som e nonprotected vegetation sparsely distributed on the property.

On January 28, 2019, a Residentia l Capacity Allocation (RCA 201 9-70742) and initiation of a General Plan Am endment (LU 2020-70026) for the above project was authorized by City Council, which allocated 27 units thereb y allowing the applicant to submit formal applic ations for the apartment compl ex expansion project.

On September 22, 2021, a Pre-App lication meeting (PAR 2020-7042 0) was conducted with the applicant.

On May 28, 2020, the applicant began submitting the subject app lications, which are listed in the “Recommendation” section of this report.

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
The
subject request involves a Measure E allocation project loc ated outside the Thousand Oaks Boulevard Specific Plan (SP-20). Typically, decis ions on Development Permits are rendered by the Planning Commission, wi th City Council consideration if a Planning Commission decision is appe a l e d . I n t h i s case, the project is in the “prescreen” procedure, which specif ies that City Council evaluate a concept as an initial step to allocate residential units, and then proceed through the city review st eps. The process also includ es filing of a preapplication for comments from various agencies, formal appli cations for evaluation and recommendation to the Planning Commission, then recommendation from the Planning Commission to City Council on the project, with final decision to approve or deny the project by City Coun cil. The applicant has satisfied all requisite steps and, at this stage, the Plann ing Commission’s role on this item is to make a recommendation to City Council.

At this stage in the process, t he Planning Commission is reques ted to adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment #4) recommending adoption of th e Negative Declaration and approval of the project to City Council.

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING
The current request for apartments requires a General Plan Amen dment to change the Industrial land use designation to a High-Density Re sidential (15-30 dwelling units/acre) designati on to accommodate the proposed re sidential development.

SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
The proposed Specific Plan Am endment will amend the Specific Pl an land use map to residential to allow for the apartment project.

EVALUATION:

Project Summary
The project involves construction of three (3) apartment buildings, comprising 27- units, reconfigured drive aisles as well as a surface parking a rea, to connect to the existing apartment complex; all depicted in the “Project Pl ans” dated January Item No.11B

Shapell Properties, Inc. (2021-70893-ND/2021-70019-RPD) February 27, 2023

13, 2021 (Attachment #5). Figure 1 below illustrates the propos ed site configuration.

Figure 1: Proposed Site Plan
The
unit types include (11) one-bedroom units (about 866 s.f. each), (12) two- bedroom units (about 1,100 to 1, 230 s.f. each) and (4) three-bedroom units (about 1,353 s.f. each). Of the 27 apartments, 4 units are proposed as moderate- income households which is an income of up to 120 percent of th e Ventura County median income category. A dditionally, the project would share the amenities already established on the adjoining Arroyo Villa Apartments site to the north.

Compatibility with Surrounding Uses
The project is within an urbanized area, with transportation an d utility infrastructure in place. Nearby T ransit services are available with a bus stop located just 315 feet of the site, on Corporate Center Drive. S urrounding uses include open space, and the exis ting Arroyo Villa Apartment com plex to the north, single-family residences to the east, and industrial use s to the west (across the street) and to the south.

Building Form
The three, two-story apartment b uildings will be approximately 27 feet in height.

Building 1 will be oriented towa rds Rancho Conejo Boulevard wit h entries, windows, and living area facing the public right of way. Provid ing entries facing sidewalks and roadways as well as internal connections to these a r e a s , enhances the residential impressi on of the project and promotes walkability of the site. The other two interior buildings similar in design an d height, will be situated to best integrate the additional units to the existing multi-dwelling development.

Amenities
The proposed apartment unit expansio n includes outdoor amenitie s such as an outdoor BBQ dining area and an open landscaped space for passiv e recreation (see Figure 2 below). However, since this is an extension of an existing apartment complex, all residents would have access to all the a menities located throughout the complex, include the new seating areas, pool, sp a, fitness center and playground.

Figure 2: Outdoor BBQ Dining
Architectural Design
Architecturally,
the project is a Mediterranean Revival style. This theme includes stucco, clay tile roofing, and multi-pane windows. The building size, mass, and scale complements the existing surrounding development to the n orth of the project site. Design features incorporated into the general building design include varying façade elements such as archways, recessed second story walkways, and balconies, which result in a visually interesting and attra ctive design. The project meets the City’s Architectural Design Guidelines by usi ng unified design elements throughout the development (see Figure 3).

Figure 3: Rendering of Apartments Along Rancho Conejo Boulevard Common Open Space
The
proposal includes an outdoor BBQ dining area with adjacent open turf area.

In addition, to new areas provided by the proposed development would be connected to a well-established multifamily complex that provid es common open areas. The proposed open space areas will further the opportuni ties for residents to gather and build a sense of community.

Private Usable Open Space
Thousand
Oaks Municipal Code (TOMC) Section 9-4.904(e)(5) requi res that apartments provide a patio or bal cony area of at least 100 s.f. , with a minimum dimension of 7’-0” and direct access to the unit. However, the Planning Commission may approve, or in this case recommend approval, of any dimension or square footage, as c an a specific plan. In this ca se, the specific plan defers to the TOMC planning code; therefore, for the proje ct to move forward as designed, the Planning Commission would need to also recommend waiver of both standards to City Council.

All units include a private balco ny or terrace. Although some u nits meet the minimum dimension of seven feet (7’), others are about six feet (6’). These open spaces maintain a total squar e footage averaging 66-77 square f eet and at least 21 units have a private outdoor space with a minimum dimension of eleven feet.

In general, based on the square footage and usable configurations of the spaces, they are meeting the intent of th e TOMC by providing ample priv ate open space Item No.11B

Access and Circulation
Vehicular Access : Ingress and egress to the site is provided as a two-way driveway access along Rancho Cone jo. This access is approximate ly 82 feet in width and meets the minimum standards of the TOMC and Fire Prev ention District requirements.

Pedestrian Access : There are existing public s idewalks along Rancho Conejo Boulevard. A new sidewalk c onnection will be provided from the site so that residents can walk onto and off the property at Rancho Conejo Boulevard.

Walkability
The project includes adding walkways within and along the site for pedestrian connectivity with the existing apartment development. As mentioned, a new walkway is being proposed to connect the new expansion with the existing Rancho Conejo Boulevard sidewalk.

The project is adjacent to and within walking distance of sever al commercial and industrial centers offering an a rray of employment opportunitie s, limiting the number of vehicle trips from the project and reducing greenhouse gases.

Parcel Merger
A
seamless connection to the existing apartment village is most desirable. A unified property would facilitate the on-site infrastructure and its maintenance, as well as provide unencumbered access to the existing amenities discussed above.

Therefore, recordation of a parcel merger combining the subject property with the existing Arroyo Villa Apartments site, would be required as a c ondition of approval as listed in the Resolution.

The remaining required 16 parking spaces are provided as surface parking for the uncovered portion of residential units and gues t parking. Parking for the expansion is fully contained on the site being proposed for development.

In addition, there are three extra spaces to be used in conjunction with the exiting apartment units.

All parking space dimensions, and driveway widths meet the TOMC minimum requirements. The project also provides disabled parking space s that comply with the Americans with Disabilit ies Act (ADA), contained in Ti tle 24 of the California Building Code and all applicable State laws.

COMMUNITY BENEFITS
Affordable Housing
The project includes 4 apartments (15% of 27 base units) for moderate-income residents (income of 120 percent o f Ventura County median incom e ; r e f e r t o Table 3). These apartments include, two 1-bedroom units, and tw o 2-bedroom units. These units would be dispersed throughout the complex in a y e t t o b e determined mix. The city has an unmet need of providing 532 uni ts in the Moderate-income level during this 6 th Regional Housing Needs Assessment cycle, ending in 2029, as shown in Table 4 below.

Approval of this project is also subject to execution of an Affordable Ho using Covenant between the appl icant and the City. The Affordable Housing Agr eement and Covenant are subjec t to review and approval by the Community Dev elopment Department and City Attorney’s office prior to issuance of a grading permit.

It should be noted that although the applicant is providing affordable housing, the project does not seek any waiver of a City of Thousand Oaks dev elopment standard, as is their right per State Density Bonus Law.

Grading
Grading
involves export of approx imately 525 cubic yards (c.y.) , due to excavation for the foundations of the three buildings, as well as some leveling of the site. Using a capacity of 14 c.y. per truck, it is estimated that 38 truck trips will be necessary to haul away the dirt. The applicant will be requ ired to provide a haul route and management plan to t he Public Works Department for review and approval prior to commencing grading activities. Grading activi ties do not involve impacts to 25% or greater natural terrain.

Vehicle and Bicycle Parking Accommodations
The site provides on-site parking for vehicles while accommodat ing and encouraging other transportation methods. Amenities to be included on-site bicycle racks for visitors and dedicated bicycle corals for ten ants. It should be noted that the site will also be required to provide infrastruc t u r e f o r e l e c t r i c vehicle charging stations.

Traffic
Traffic from the project is est imated to result in an average o f 15 trips during the P.M. Peak hours. Standard City pr actice for requiring a Traffic Impact Study and City Policy for requiring a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analys is is when a project is expected to generat e an additional 100 PM trips over the current land use. Since the proposed project net increase in PM Peak hour tr ips is 15 trips, neither a traffic impact study nor a VMT analysis is not required.

Landscape Plan
The proposed landscape plan will provide enhanced planting in a nd around the site to provide softscape within the hardscape areas, provide s hade coverage, and for the enjoyment of visitors and residents. A conceptual landscape plan has been submitted that demonstrates substantial landscaping on the site (Figure 4).

If the project is approved, a formal landscape plan will be req uired, and technical evaluation of that plan will be provided through a Landscape Plan Check process to ensure compliance with the city’s landscape and irrigation standards.

The total parking and vehicle circulation area is about 18,911 S.F. which requires a minimum parking area landscape coverage of 10% or about 1,900 S.F. (plus an additional 25 S.F. for each co mpact space (Sec. 9-4.2404 required per TOMC). The plan provides 2,423 S.F. of parking area landscaping o r approximately 13% of the paved areas. The parking area landscape coverage is only a small portion of the overall site landscaping provided w hich is approximately 20,066 square feet.

Oak Tree
Although there are no protected trees located on site, there is a p r o t e c t e d ( 1 ) California live oak (Quercus agrifolia) tree (numbered 1 in the report) that resides on the adjacent property at the nor thwest corner of the subject site. Since there may be potential impacts from cons truction, encroachment protoc ols will be followed as addressed below.

Encroachment: Development of the project, as proposed, may encroach on the root zone of the one (1) California Live Oak tree, which is loc ated at the perimeter corner of the site. An evaluation of the health and a ppearance of the tree is included in the Oak and Landmark Tree Report (Attachment #6). This tree has a diameter of 14 inches and is in good health. The applicant’s arborist report, which is supported by City’s consulting arborist, recommends ca reful “pre- cutting” of roots closest to the proposed project with hand too ls to prepare it for any encroachment that may occur.

Landmark Trees
Similar to the Oak tree discussion above, there are two (2) Cal ifornia sycamore (Platanus racemosa) trees (numbered 13 and 14 in the arborists report) located off-site, just beyond the property line to the northeast. These are relatively close to the proposed development and hav e canopies that overhang on to the subject site. Since there may be potential impacts from construction, potential encroachment has been addressed as provided below.

Encroachment: Proposed improvements, may likely encroach on the root zone o f the two (2) California sycamores trees, which are located at th e northeast perimeter of the site. The trees are approximately 12-14 inches in diameter and in good health. The Oak and Landmark Tree Report finds there would be little impact to the trees if the canopies are trimmed back and explor atory hand tool digging around the roots is done to identify any critical roots before construction begins. Both measures included in the arborist report for the L andmark and Oak trees are included in the recommended conditions of approval.

Community Input
Staff
received one email opposing the project based on an avers ion to additional “construction or traffic in our a rea”. The Negative Declaratio n addresses the associated construction activities and has determined it would be “less than significant”. In addition, there are conditions of approval tha t limit construction activity, associated noise, hours of operation and trips made b y construction equipment. Also, it should be noted that the project does not create a new “curb- cut” or access to the public right -of-way, but rather utilizes an established entry and exist point to the overall co mplex. Further, the future vehicle trips generated by this proposal is well below the thresholds requiring a traffic analysis.

Environmental Review (CEQA)
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CE QA), a comprehensive evaluation of the potential environmental impacts for this project was performed. This evaluation determined that the project did not have a significant effect on the environment, therefore a Negative Dec laration (Attachment #7) was prepared for the project.

A Notice of Intent to Adopt a N egative Declaration was posted w ith a 30-day public review period for the proposed Negative Declaration betw een November 18, 2022, and December 19, 2022. O ne comment was received from Ventura Air Quality requesting clarificati on and correction of Air Quality measures. This request was adequately addressed in the revised draft Negative Declaration; therefore, staff is recommending adoption of the Negative Decla ration (2021- 70893-ND) for the project.

Development Agreement
A Development Agreement (“DAGR”) is required for approval of pr ojects that receive allocation of Measure E units (Attachment #8). This ag reement is a contract between the property owner and City to ensure specific deliverables and site expectations are in place to ensure public benefit, such a s the inclusion of affordable units, site improvements, and certain number of resi dential units.

Thousand Oaks Municipal Code Section 9-11.01 et seq. outlines the process for implementation of a development agreement. The applicant’s repr esentatives and staff have worked together to prepare an agreement in compliance with the Municipal Code that identifies the parties’ rights, responsibil ities and both public and private benefits expected from entering into such an agreement.

Item No.11B

The DAGR lists various benefits received by the parties in the Agreement. If the project is approved and constructed as planned, the City will h ave an additional 23 market-rate and 4 affordable units in its residential stock. The applicant receives the General Plan Amendm ent, the requisite Measure E un it allocation required to build the residential complex, a specific time peri od to construct the project, a set fee rate for many City fees related to the const ruction of the project that assists the Applicant in estimating construction costs, and other benefits.

CONCLUSION:

The proposed project has a cohesive architectural design, meets the City’s Architectural Design Guidelines, provides residential units to the City’s housing needs and includes pedestrian-oriented site plan that emphasize s public and private exterior spaces. Staff therefore recommends Planning Commission recommend approval of the project based on the findings and sub ject to the conditions of approval in the attached Resolution (Attachments #4) and DA Ordinance (Attachment #9).

Along with the amendment to the General Plan to allocate up to 48 dwelling units of the citywide Measure E capacity to the R ancho Conejo Specific Plan (SP 07), the multi-family residential project with building frontage along Rancho Conejo Boulevard is consistent with all Elements of the Thousand Oaks General Plan.

3. The proposed project and Specific Plan Amendment (Amendment 17) are unified by design. The Specific Plan specifies development standards with respect to building location, height, number of required parking spaces, allowed uses, and other development standards. Since these project details are specified in the Specific Plan, the project’s standards are bound by SP-07, and are therefore, consistent.

4. The Specific Plan Amendment and project will be consistent with the housing element to provide rental housing in the form of up to 27 units.

5. The Specific Plan standards and proposed project are consistent with the City’s Architectural Guidelines as conditioned in that the projec t design provides for vertical and horizontal building articulation and a variety of colors/materials.

6. The project is consistent with all applicable laws, regulations and policies, including the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code that allows for specific development standards through adoption of a specific plan,

7. The standards and uses of the Specific Plan will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare.
